Postgraduate Taught Courses

A Postgraduate degree from the University of Wales Trinity Saint David is a great investment, whether you want to stand out from the crowd when applying for jobs, gain a promotion or simply learn more about a life-long interest alongside like-minded individuals.

You will benefit from a rich and stimulating learning environment where our staff are research-active and our students come from across the UK and beyond.

We offer Master of Arts and Master of Science degrees which combine 120 taught credits with 60 credits from a piece of research or in-depth study. You will typically study between 6 and 8 taught modules and depending on your subject area you may be able to combine elective classes with compulsory modules.

Many of our Master of Arts degrees can also be taken as a Master of Research (MRes), to gain this degree classification you will typically study only 3 modules (60 credits) and produce a larger piece of research worth 120 credits.
